About Us
A Company Born to be Astonishingly Superior.
The Cremo Story
The Original Cremo Shave Cream was created from scratch when Mike, one of our founders, simply couldn't find a shave cream that performed to his higher-than-average standards. Motivated by the challenge, he set out on a mission to create the best performing shaving cream in the business. Leveraging a background in engineering and his skills as a highly-successful inventor, Mike spent many months devoted to research & development before arriving at what he felt was the magic formula. With shave cream in hand, he proudly shared his new creation with friends and family and it was immediately met with high praise. How could this shave cream work so well and be so impossibly slick? One friend in particular, Kyle, loved it so much that the duo decided to open a company based on this one phenomenal product. Cremo was born. Today, the brand is available nationwide and has expanded into a full range of men's and women's premium grooming products, each crafted with the same high-standards that started it all.

Kyle Schroeder
Co-Founder
Kyle grew up in the small rural town of Tulare, California. Coming from a family of dairy and cotton farmers with deep roots in the area, he graduated Valedictorian from the exact same High School and Junior High that three of his grandparents, mother and father had attended decades earlier. From there, Kyle went on to study business and graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, leading to jobs in technology and entertainment.
Wanting a change from life in an office, Kyle then began his career as a fashion model. Literally going around the world a couple times he traveled, worked and lived in such diverse places as New York, Hong Kong, Hamburg, Barcelona and Sydney.
We’re happy Kyle chose to give up the life of a high fashion model and put his global business skills to work for Cremo Company.
Mike Boone
Co-Founder
A graduate of Stanford University and a former College Entrepreneur of the year, Mike is renowned for making dry erase "white boards" into a familiar consumer products category; for his next act, he introduced random-flickering electronic candles (LED lights that imitate the light and ambience of flame) into the home-interior and restaurant marketplace, creating the category while developing the technology and the product line.
When not thinking of new products to improve daily life, Mike is a sought-after interior decorator and landscape gardener. The multi-talented and tireless Southern California native also designs furniture, writes music, plays the piano and cello, sings, paints and bakes enthusiastically. Mike lives in Laguna Beach with his two dogs, Davis and Jackson.
